Quantum corrections to a finite temperature BIon

Abstract

In this paper, we will analyze a finite temperature BIon, which is a finite temperature brane–anti-brane wormhole configuration. We will analyze the quantum fluctuations to this BIon solution using the Euclidean quantum gravity. It will be observed that these quantum fluctuations produce logarithmic corrections to the entropy of this finite temperature BIon solution. These corrections to the entropy also correct the internal energy and the specific heat for this finite temperature BIon. We will also analyze the critical points for this finite temperature BIonic system, and analyze the effects of quantum corrections on the stability of this system.
